A Tribute to One

They're with us all year,
They teach us how to write and read,
but mostly how to grow...

They're the teachers,
The ones that teach us how to live our lives.

All of them are comforting,
All of them are great,
But the one that stands out most in our minds,
Is the first one that we've had,
as you will often find.

As we grow older,
We remember that day,
Where we were scared,
We didn't want to go away

But then a comforting woman comes,
And wipes away our tears.
She's always there for us,
Helping us confront our fears.

That teacher we always will remember,
Through good times and the bad.
